Redaction: We Shall Live in His Sight

MATTHEW MARK LUKE JOHN

unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham:
[B]ut if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not
Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one arose from the dead. •

¶ [A]nd after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may wake him
out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his
death: [B]ut they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them
plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe;

nevertheless let us go unto him. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples,
Let us also go, that we may die with him. •

¶ T[hen] said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: [B]ut woe unto
him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and

he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

¶ Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent,
forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again
unto thee, saying, I repent; [T]hou shalt forgive him. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our

faith. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree,
Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. But which of
you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the
field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and

gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth
he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye,
when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable
servants: [W]e have done that which was our duty to do. •
